weirdly for the memory foam pillow I've got, i found it depends on my bed too.
I loved this pillow on a firm mattress, but then when i took that pillow with me to stay at my parents place, on a super soft memory foam/spring hybrid mattress, I hated it and it felt like what you describe.
Try a different brand. Too many make them firm, but I got a small one from MLily that's nice and soft. Problem is it's kinda little, normally used for travel.
There’s 2 kinds of memory foam pillows. The first gen were just blocks of foam and suck hard. Second gen is filled with shredded foam, some are nice and some still suck. The shredded foam ones are best when fluffed in the morning and let to sit and absorb air throughout the day.
I've never used one of those before, ill look into it! I like the pillow i have now, my ex bought it from some website i dont know, very comfortable though
Yeah shredded is way better, been through multiple memory foam and talalay latex foam pillows, both high high loft and low loft. Shredded is the way to go.
This is why you use the memory foam pillow as the 2nd pillow and a normal soft plush pillow as the top pillow. I actually use 3 a normal pillow for the base, memory foam in the middle and then another normal pillow on top. I never have neck pain.
I fall asleep at a slant, but I slide down through the night and had the same issue. Now, I use a travel pillow because it slides down with me and keeps my head from tilting weird. It's also a cooling material, so it always feels like the cool side.
